Grooming supplies

Before your older kids pack their belongings and head back to college, make a trip to a nearby grocery store or pharmacy to pick up personal grooming supplies. College students rarely have a lot of cash to spend, and you’ll save a bundle by shopping close to home. Off-campus convenience stores charge a fortune for these same items.
